March 23 (Bloomberg) — Royal Shell Dutch Plc, Europe’s largest oil company, said its ethylene and mono-ethylene glycol plants in Singapore are on schedule for operation in 2009 or 2010.
The first piles were driven into the ground on Pulau Bukom and Jurong Island, the company’s chemical unit said in a statement today.
The Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex, which will have a cracker with a capacity to make 800,000 metric tons of ethylene from naphtha and other petroleum products, is Shell’s biggest chemical investment in Singapore, the company said. Construction of the plants started in October.
The complex will include a 750,000 tons-a-year mono- ethylene glycol plant. Mono-ethylene glycol is a key ingredient in plastic water bottles, synthetic fibers, and anti-freeze.
The cracker will be Singapore’s fourth ethylene plant. Exxon Mobil Corp., the world’s largest investor-owned oil company, operates a cracker that can make over 900,000 tons of ethylene a year.
Petrochemical Corp. of Singapore Pte, half owned by Shell, is the only other ethylene producer in Singapore. Petrochemical Corp. operates two crackers with combined annual ethylene capacities of 1.08 million tons.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
